Oh the old version of," what if our whole universe in nothing more than one cell of the body of a giagantic lifeform" question. I do think that is exactly what the situation is. We, as humans, think that we're the universal top of the food chain, and we may be, in this universe, but this universe is very small in the grander scheme of things. Think us as the microscopic bacteria consuming the pile of dog poop in your back yard. We'll probably never be able to consume it all, because we'll be wiped out before it's gone. If we are able to consume it all, we'll have to move to another pile, or die. Nonetheless we are so infantile in our understanding of the world beyond our little pile in the backyard that we can't possibily comprehend the endless variables out there beyond the backyard. I think that we, as the human race, are far to arrogant. Although technology is increasing at asounding rate I don't think we'll survive in the long run, because the huge leap it would take to make a successful move to another inhabitable planet is far beyond what we're prepared for. That kind of successful move would involve finding a planet that has the same exact conditions as we have here on earth. The odds of finding that, even in the next 1000 years are astronomical, and even if we did find it, imagine what it would take to put enough people and supplies there to populate a new planet. Also if we can survive there (as a relativley new lifeform, in the big picture) what about the other inhabitants that have already been there since their debut as a species.
As for the whole new color wheel theory. Scientists have already figured out the potential of our color recognition capability. That's how the color wheel was invented. We have a limited number of cones and rods(inner workings of the eyeball) that differentiate colors that are visible to us.
I'd hate to think this way on a daily basis, because then one would start to think, "why bother, if we're just some insignificant speck". The truth is we can only do what we're capable of, so make the best of it.

It would be largely irrelevant, because we are only able to know things in our own universe we would never actually know that we where a strand of hair on some extradimesional life-form.
As far the colours are concerned, we are only aware of the colours that we know because they are the way the brain reacts to certain frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (light). So red is the brain just saying that this particular area reflects light waves with a frequency of around 700 nanometers. Therefore you could get an entirely different colour wheel by changing the frequencies that you are aware of.

You'd be amazed by the strength of one hair-it can hold the weight of a large apple. Beards are the fastest growing hairs on the human body. If a man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to a length of almost 30 ft in a average lifetime.
Hair protects, on the scalp, on the face and everywhere else there is hair it is there to protect the body. Everything that made the human body, is in the universe because we are all made of the same but all working differently
If you were to convert that hair strand into a quark string then we could have an entirely different conversation on hair, lol

We'd probably be germs of that life form, I'd try to communicate with it in some way... and I'd try to figure out what colors are made in that new color wheel, so I could make totally awesome artworks and tell my friends and family!
Perhaps the other strands are other universes with strange, new life forms, perhaps far more superior than ours, and maybe the life form we're part of is ALSO part of something bigger... hehe

I would think that the solar system is a miniature representative of an atom!! the sun being the nucleus and the planets the electrons or positrons-if any. Dalton was unable to split it further than that. Einstein et al were able to get the photons the quanta. What if we split our Nuclei sun? what would we get? and could this shed a different light in to the atom as we do not know it??
My thoughts about the color? I would think of 3D colors. yeah....3D

An interesting thought. Have you read the Dark Tower saga by Stephen King? If not you really should!!! In the novels there are many other worlds that exist within a single red rose growing here in our world.

MMM, interesting question. Makes you think that there could be some huge sized dandruff about. I like the question about the colours, what would they be?! Also, there would be different, scents and aromas because of the unique combination of flora and fauna--and whatever new, unknown things . What would things taste like? The sound of the wind, sea, everything!!!

talking about universes in hair reminds me of the eyelash worms. Years ago I saw a show about microscopic worlds and there is a universe in your eyelashes.
there is a colony of worms that live there feeding on germs and gunk connected to the eye. it was really creepy and if I was a germaphobe, I would have pulled out my lashes right then.
this is not a joke, check it out yourself on a medical or science site. If you dare.

the whole MIB:Men In Black idea where our galaxy could merely be marbles to some higher being....
it really doesn't matter seeing as that it doesnt affect our lives... or does it?
maybe all this global warming is just because whatever supernatural being we are leaching off of now lives in an unstable environment... who knows...

what if ! you`ll still have to abide by the laws or suffer the
consequences. in the spiritual realm the brightness of the color
of our creator is so intense that if you were to stand before him
your body would burn in a flash.only in his spiritual image as
spirits ourselves could we see that color wheel...
